Architecture: YIBD Block C1-20 – Yongsan International Business District by Tange Associates: “..a mixed-use building situated at the very center of the sector, mediating between the ‘retail valley’ and the surrounding office buildings. set as an urban anchor for the area, it will demarcate a path from the han river to yongsan station through its adjacent public spaces. the structure has a gross area of 58 400 m2, stands 165 meters in height, with 25 floors that combine spaces for learning, creating and communicating. the building hosts a diverse program with educational institutions, a synergy floor for events and exhibitions, a three-storey fitness center, various regional headquarters for international companies, rooms for private clinics and a roof top restaurant with open terraces..the multi-faceted frame of the facade embraces the structure’s aluminum-glass skin that moves in an upward-spiraling motion. during the evening, the exterior turns into a giant media wall displaying digital artwork creating a sense of identity to the entire district..” Exposed “scaffolding”, media wall; another dynamic project for the Yongsan International Business District..
